Snoopy dances all around!

1. It’s Read an E-book week! Hip-hip-hooray! Haven’t been bitten by the e-book bug yet? Then why not go for a quick, easy, feel-good read to get in the spirit, so to speak. Come on, you know you want to and have I got just the book for you!

*Warning, blatant self-promotion ahead!*

Check out my novella, Unwilling Angel. A short, fast read guaranteed to lift your spirits! And if you want something with a little more, um, bite to it, take a look at Snow Shadows, about a Cherokee shape-shifter who doesn’t bite–unless you want him to! Available in e-book at your favorite online e-book supplier and mine; FictionWise.

2. Baseball, baseball, and more baseball.

First, the World Baseball Classic. Did you see that game last night between the US and Venezuela? Wow! My man, Youk, hit another homerun–that makes two!–and I’m betting he’ll hit more before it’s over. Adam Dunn ain’t doing too bad either! Better yet, now that the WBC has started, that means the regular season isn’t far behind.

Second, Manny Ramirez finally signed with the LA Dodgers so now we won’t have to see his name pop up everywhere. No offense Manny, but even I got tired of seeing your face splashed all over the online sports news. I mean, really, what are you trying to be? The (insert whatever pop-celeb you’re sick of hearing about) of baseball?

Third, Alex Rodriguez opted to have arthroscopic surgery on his hip instead of trying to play through the season with a torn labrum. From all reports, he’ll be out for 6-9 weeks. If I’d been in his shoes, I would’ve done the same thing but…with everything that’s happened in his life lately it seems like awful convenient timing. Just saying…

3. The sun is out, all the snow is gone, the temperature is in the high 70’s, the squirrels–both gray and white–are capering, and the birds are singing their little hearts out. Spring has sprung here in the mountains of North Carolina and I’m loving it!

4. Got an email from my publisher last night asking for a short bio for the PMS: Poison + Murder = Satisfaction anthology. That means it should be released soon! My short, The Secret Life of Alice Smitty, is one of the stories. Double woo-hoo!

5. Made it through another revision of Storm Shadows this weekend and I think it’s just about ready to be submitted. For right now, Betty Sue seems to be satisfied with her character and her happy ending. Whew! Now, let’s just hope she stays that way!

So there you have it, five reasons I’m doing Snoopy dances. Don’t you just love it when the angels give you multiple reasons for dancing?
